Charitable Fund
What is the Professional Dimensions Charitable Fund?
The Professional Dimensions Charitable Fund enables members to pool resources to impact the economic self-sufficiency of women and girls through shared experiences and financial contributions. It was formed as a 501(c)(3) organization in 1985 to serve as the charitable, tax-exempt arm of the organization.
What is the Charitable Fund project?
The biennial selection of a Charitable Fund project was developed as a way to support a local non-profit organization or initiative by infusing both volunteer time and financial support over a two-year period. At the same time, it gives members an opportunity to work together toward helping individuals and organizations in Milwaukee.
How do I nominate an organization for consideration as the next Charitable Fund project?
Charitable Fund projects last for a period of two years and new projects are chosen every odd year in the spring. During the selection process, members nominate organizations or initiatives and commit to serving as the project champion during the two-year partnership. The PD Charitable Fund Board of Directors reviews these nominations and selects the final project.
How can I volunteer with the Charitable Fund?
The Charitable Fund project Champions are always working to provide volunteer opportunities for members with the current charity or initiative. Make sure to watch your email and read the newsletter for upcoming announcements. You may also reach out to the project Champions or the PD office to learn about current opportunities.
